When was the Pianoforte created?The pianoforte or piano was born in 1709 when Bartolomeo Cristofori built the pianoforte, a keyboard instrument that possessed the ability to control dynamics not possible with the harpsichord. The piano was based on the hundreds of years work done on the harpsichord, including using the same soundboard, bridge, and keyboard devices. A harpsichord maker himself, Cristofori obviously benefited from this knowledge.
